Short-Term Running Goals:

Okay, so for 2013 I am going to have FUN! Not that running isn't always fun, but I had a wonderful breakthrough year last year and I want to play this year :) AND get faster! So, my first goal I'm going to put out there is my yearly mileage goal.
It is 2,186 miles from my driveway to my sister (QP's) driveway! I want to spend this year on a virtual trek cross country running those miles. So, that is how far I will run in 2013...from my house to QPs. It will take all year and yes, this is measured on Hwys so it isn't really exactly how I COULD run it, but good enough. 43 miles/week...totally doable, and a fun goal to track how far I've traveled as I go along. Who knows...maybe I'll even run PAST her house :)

I will do more trail runs, Boston, Pacing duties, another Half IM and some other tris. I'm excited for this next year and look forward to having fun with all of you out on the roads, and trails! Maybe bag a few peaks this year too!!

Long-Term Running Goals:

Big Dreams: 5K in 20:2X; 10K in 39:XX; Half in 1:29:XX; Full in 3:15:XX; complete the Rim2Rim2Rim run and not die; Comrades; Iron(wo)Man.

Run for the rest of my life!

Personal:

4 children: twelve, eight, five and baby Fartlek - 2 1/2. Wonderful supportive husband that lets me drag him and the family all over for race after race!

Finished 13 marathons and LOVE running that distance! I'm definitely hooked to the marathon monster and hope to constantly improve my endurance, speed and stay injury free!

I've also found a love of trail running! I hope to keep improving on this front.

After being injured with a broken foot at the first of 2012 I found a tri group and started training with them and am now loving tris! The half IM was harder than I'd ever imagined...and am ready to do it again. I'll earn my bike butt and someday have enough time to train for a full IM.

Total Distance

8.00

Met Rob, Chad, Rachelle, Smooth, Karen and her friend (I forgot her name, but I remember Smooth said "I want to call you Lisa!" and that is all I can remember) at Willow Park for a Spooktacular Halloween run!

I ran with Rob, Chad and Rachelle on the way down and barely got to say hello to Smooth, but figured when we turned I would chat and finish up with her and her group. Well, she tricked me and didn't run the full 4 out, so I never got to see her again :( poo.

Chad and Rob took off for some tempo miles back and Rachelle and I just had a great chat on the way back. My legs got tired around mile 7 though. I can tell there is still some good fatigue in there. Rachelle had some super cute little treats for us at the end! How fun!! I had a great time and it made it totally worth getting up and going down there.

Probably won't take care of the gobs of candy I won't have the self-restraint to not eat today, but it at least put a dent in it! :)

I totally would have stayed with you guys, but I figured Chad needed protection on the trail all alone, I could tell you two had it covered.

Yea RAD, back on the road in charge.

What a wonderful Halloween run (such a cute idea!!)! Hooray for treats and good friends! Way to go Rachel!

I'm loving that your "easy" AP's are in the low 8's. You've worked really hard these past couple of years. Nice work!

From RAD on Thu, Nov 01, 2012 at 11:36:15 from 98.202.23.178

Rob, it was nice of you to protect Chad...he can get out of hand sometimes :)

Slick, how is NY for you? Still on? I guess I just need to check out your blog!

Toby, I can't wait to run with you again.

Brooke, Rachelle was commenting about the same thing yesterday. It is crazy how it happens and you hardly realize it. No worries, I know you'll be there soon!
